Description

WO 2013/178662 PCT/EP2013/061030 COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING A BIOLOGICAL CONTROL ACENT AND AN INSECTICIDE The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least one biological 5 control agent selected from specific microorganisms and/or a mutant of these strains having all the identifying characteristics of the respective strain, and/or a metabolite produced by the respective strain that exhibits activity against insects, mites, nematodes and/or phytopathogens and at least one specific insecticide in a synergistically effective amount. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of 10 this composition as well as a method for reducing overall damage of plants and plant parts. Synthetic insecticides or fungicides often are non-specific and therefore can act on organisms other than the target ones, including other naturally occurring beneficial organisms. Because of their chemical nature, they may be also toxic and non 15 biodegradable. Consumers worldwide are increasingly conscious of the potential environmental and health problems associated with the residuals of chemicals, particularly in food products. This has resulted in growing consumer pressure to reduce the use or at least the quantity of chemical (i. e. synthetic) pesticides. Thus, there is a need to manage food chain requirements while still allowing effective pest control. 20 A further problem arising with the use of synthetic insecticides or fungicides is that the repeated and exclusive application of an insecticide or fungicides often leads to selection of resistant microorganisms. Normally, such strains are also cross-resistant against other active ingredients having the same mode of action. An effective control of the pathogens with said active compounds is then not possible any longer. However, 25 active ingredients having new mechanisms of action are difficult and expensive to develop. The risk of resistance development in pathogen populations as well as environmental and human health concerns have fostered interest in identifying alternatives to synthetic insecticides and fungicides for managing plant diseases. The use of biological control 30 agents (BCAs) is one alternative. However, the effectiveness of most BCAs is not at the same level as for conventional insecticides and fungicides, especially in case of severe infection pressure. Consequently, known biological control agents, their mutants and WO 2013/178662 PCT/EP2013/061030 2 metabolites produced by them are, in particular in low application rates, not entirely satisfactory. Thus, there is a constant need for developing new, alternative plant protection agents which in some areas at least help to fulfill the above-mentioned requirements. 5 WO 2009/037242 A2 relates to a fungicidal composition of one of two specific fungicidal bacterial strains, namely Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus pumilus, and a synthetic fungicide for controlling phytopathogenic harmful fungi. However, the control of insects is not mentioned at all. WO 2010/108973 A2 describes a method for controlling harmful fungi comprising 10 different sequential treatment blocks of plants with at least one fungicidal biological control agent and at least one synthetic fungicide. Consequently, the control of insects is not addressed in this patent application, In view of this, it was in particular an object of the present invention to provide compositions which exhibit activity against insects, mites, nematodes and/or 15 phytopathogens. Moreover, it was a further particular object of the present invention, to reduce the application rates and broaden the activity spectrum of the biological control agents and the insecticides, and thereby to provide a composition which, preferably at a reduced total amount of active compounds applied, has improved activity against insects, mites, nematodes and/or phytopathogens. In particular, it was a 20 further object of the present invention to provide a composition which, when applied to a crop, results in a decreased amount of residues in the crop, thereby reducing the risk of resistance formation and nevertheless provides efficient disease control. Accordingly, it was found that these objects at least partly are solved by the compositions according to the invention as defined in the following. The composition 25 according to the present invention preferably fulfills the above-described needs, It has been surprisingly discovered that the application of the composition according to the present invention in a simultaneous or sequential way to plants, plant parts, harvested fruits, vegetables and/or plant's locus of growth preferably allows better control of insects, mites, nematodes and/or phytopathogens than it is possible with the strains, 30 their mutants and/or their metabolites produced by the strains on the one hand and with the individual insecticides on the other hand, alone (synergistic mixtures). By applying the biological control agent and the insecticide according to the invention WO 2013/178662 PCT/EP2013/061030 3 the activity against insects, mites, nematodes and/or phytopathogens is preferably increased in a superadditive manner. As a consequence, the composition according to the present invention preferably allows a reduced total amount of active compounds to be used and thus the crops 5 which have been treated by this composition preferably show a decreased amount of residues in the crop. Accordingly, the risk of resistance formation of harmful microorganisms is decreased, The present invention is directed to a composition comprising at least one biological control agent selected from the group consisting of Bacillus chitinosporus AQ746 (NRRL 10 Accession No, B-21618), Bacillus mycoldes AQ726 (NRRL Accession No. B-21664), Bacillus pumilus (NRRL Accession No. B-30087), Bacillus pumilus AQ71 7 (NRRL Accession No. B-21662), Bacillus sp.

(NRRL Accession 20 No. B-30145), Bacillus thuringiensis subspec. kurstaki BMP 123, Bacillus subtilis AQ30002 (NRRL Accession No. B-50421), and Bacillus subtilis AQ 30004 (NRRL Accession No. B 50455) and/or a mutant of these strains having all the identifying characteristics of the respective strain, and/or a metabolite produced by the respective strain that exhibits activity against insects, mites, nematodes and/or phytopathogens and at least one 25 insecticide selected from the group consisting of juvenile hormone mimics, miscellaneous non-specific (multi-site) inhibitors, selective homopteran feeding blockers, mite growth inhibitors, microbial disruptors of insect midgut membranes, inhibitors of mitochondrial ATP synthase, uncouplers of oxidative phoshorylation via disruption of the proton gradient, inhibitors of chitin biosynthesis, type 0, inhibitors of 30 chitin biosynthesis, type 1, moulting disruptors, ecdysone receptor agonists, octopamine receptor agonists, mitochondrial complex IlII electron transport inhibitors, mitochondrial complex I electron transport inhibitors, mitochondrial complex IV electron transport inhibitors, and mitochondrial complex il electron transport inhibitors, WO 2013/178662 PCT/EP2013/061030 4 in a synergistically effective amount. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a kit of parts comprising at least one of the specific biological control agents and at least one of the specific insecticides. The present invention is further directed to the use of said composition for reducing overall 5 damage of plants and plant parts as well as losses in harvested fruits or vegetables caused by insects, mites, nematodes and/or phytopathogens. Moreover, the present invention provides a method for reducing overall damage of plants and plant parts as well as losses in harvested fruits or vegetables caused by insects, mites, nematodes and/or phytopathogens. 10 BiologIcal control agents In general a "pesticidal" means the ability of a substance to increase mortality or inhibit the growth rate of plant pests. The term is used herein, to describe the property of a substance to exhibit activity against insects, mites, nematodes and/or phytopathogens. In the sense of the present invention the term "pests" include insects, mites, nematodes 15 and/or phytopathogens. As used herein, "biological control" is defined as control of a pathogen and/or insect and/or an acarid and/or a nematode by the use of a second organism. Known mechanisms of biological control include enteric bacteria that control root rot by out competing fungi for space on the surface of the root. Bacterial toxins, such as 20 antibiotics, have been used to control pathogens. The toxin can be isolated and applied directly to the plant or the bacterial species may be administered so it produces the toxin in situ. The term "metabolite" refers to any compound, substance or byproduct of a fermentation of a said microorganism that has pesticidal activity, 25 The term "mutant" refers to a variant of the parental strain as well as methods for obtaining a mutant or variant in which the pesticidal activity is greater than that expressed by the parental strain. The "parent strain" is defined herein as the original strain before mutagenesis. To obtain such mutants the parental strain may be treated with a chemical such as N-methyl- Nnitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, ethylmethanesulfone, or 30 by irradiation using gamma, x-ray, or UV-rradiation, or by other means well known to those skilled in the art.
WO 2013/178662 PCT/EP2013/061030 5 A "variant" is a strain having all the identifying characteristics of the NRRL or ATCC Accession Numbers as indicated in this text and can be identified as having a genome that hybridizes under conditions of high stringency to the genome of the NRRL or ATCC Accession Numbers, 5 "Hybridization" refers to a reaction in which one or more polynucleotides react to form a complex that is stabilized via hydrogen bonding between the bases of the nucleotide residues. The hydrogen bonding may occur by Watson-Crick base pairing, Hoogstein binding, or in any other sequence-specific manner. The complex may comprise two strands forming a duplex structure, three or more strands forming a multi-stranded 10 complex, a single self-hybridizing strand, or any combination of these. Hybridization reactions can be performed under conditions of different "stringency". In general, a low stringency hybridization reaction is carried out at about 40 0C in 10 X SSC or a solution of equivalent ionic strength/temperature. A moderate stringency hybridization is typically performed at about 50 *C in 6 X SSC, and a high stringency hybridization reaction is 15 generally performed at about 60 C in 1 X SSC. A variant of the indicated NRRL or ATCC Accession Number may also be defined as a strain having a genomic sequence that is greater than 85%, more preferably greater than 90% or more preferably greater than 95% sequence identity to the genome of the indicated NRRL or ATCC Accession Number. A polynucleotide or polynucleotide region 20 (or a polypeptide or polypeptide region) has a certain percentage (for example, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95%) of "sequence identity" to another sequence means that, when aligned, that percentage of bases (or amino acids) are the same in comparing the two sequences. This alignment and the percent homology or sequence identity can be determined using software programs known in the art, for example, those described in 25 Current Protocols in Molecular Biology (F. M. Ausubel et aL, eds., 1987) Supplement 30, section 7. 7. 18, Table 7. 7. 1.

The biological control agents used in the present invention are known in the art as follows: Bacillus chitinosporus AQ746 (NRRL Accession No. B-21618) (in the following sometimes referred to as Bl) is known from WO 98/21966 A2. It is specifically active against 10 nematodes and insects and produces non-exotoxin, non-proteinaceous, active metabolites in its supernatant. Those metabolites are active against nematodes and cockroaches, but inactive against flies, corn rootworm or beet armyworm. Bacillus mycoldes AQ726 (NRRL Accession No. B-21664) (in the following sometimes referred to as B2) and its water-soluble metabolites kill or stunt insects such as corn 15 rootworm larvae and aphids (WO 99/09820 Al). As described in WO 00/58442 Al Bacillus pumlus QST2808 (NRRL Accession No. B 30087) (in the following sometimes referred to as B3) is able to inhibit a broad range of fungal plant diseases in vivo. Moreover, the combination of this strain with Bacillus thuringiensis enhances the insecticidal activity of the latter, Commercially available 20 formulations of this strain are sold under the tradenames SONATA* and BALLAD* Plus from AgraQuest, Inc.

The formulations or application forms in question preferably comprise auxiliaries, such as 30 extenders, solvents, spontaneity promoters, carriers, emulsifiers, dispersants, frost protectants, biocides, thickeners and/or other auxiliaries, such as adjuvants, for example, An adjuvant in this context is a component which enhances the biological effect of the formulation, without the component itself having a biological effect.
WO 2013/178662 PCT/EP2013/061030 40 Examples of adjuvants are agents which promote the retention, spreading, attachment to the leaf surface, or penetration. These formulations are produced in a known manner, for example by mixing the active compounds with auxiliaries such as, for example, extenders, solvents and/or solid 5 carriers and/or further auxiliaries, such as, for example, surfactants, The formulations are prepared either in suitable plants or else before or during the application. Suitable for use as auxiliaries are substances which are suitable for imparting to the formulation of the active compound or the application forms prepared from these formulations (such as, eg., usable crop protection agents, such as spray liquors or seed 10 dressings) particular properties such as certain physical, technical and/or biological properties. Suitable extenders are, for example, water, polar and nonpolar organic chemical liquids, for example from the classes of the aromatic and non-aromatic hydrocarbons (such as paraffins, alkylbenzenes, alkylnaphthalenes, chlorobenzenes), the alcohols and 15 polyols (which, if appropriate, may also be substituted, etherified and/or esterified), the ketones (such as acetone, cyclohexanone), esters (including fats and oils) and (poly)ethers, the unsubstituted and substituted amines, amides, lactams (such as N alkylpyrrolidones) and lactones, the sulphones and sulphoxides (such as dimethy sulphoxide). 20 If the extender used is water, it is also possible to employ, for example, organic solvents as auxiliary solvents, Essentially, suitable liquid solvents are: aromatics such as xylene, toluene or alkylnaphthalenes, chlorinated aromatics and chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane or paraffins, for example petroleum 25 fractions, mineral and vegetable oils, alcohols such as butanol or glycol and also their ethers and esters, ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents such as dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulphoxide, and also water. Preferred auxliary solventsare selected fromthe o consistinaof ceonean NNLdimethvlIformamTide, 30 In principle it is possible to use all suitable solvents, Suitable solvents are, for example, aromatic hydrocarbons, such as xylene, toluene or alkyinaphthalenes, for example, chlorinated aromatic or aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as chlorobenzene, WO 2013/178662 PCT/EP2013/061030 41 chloroethylene or methylene chloride, for example, aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as cyclohexane, for example, paraffins, petroleum fractions, mineral and vegetable oils, alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, butanol or glycol, for example, and also their ethers and esters, ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl 5 isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, for example, strongly polar solvents, such as dimethyl sulphoxide, and water, All suitable carriers may in principle be used. Suitable carriers are in particular: for example, ammonium salts and ground natural minerals such as kaolins, clays, taic, chalk, quartz, aftapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic 10 minerals, such as finely divided silica, alumina and natural or synthetic silicates, resins, waxes and/or solid fertilizers. Mixtures of such carriers may likewise be used. Carriers suitable for granules include the following: for example, crushed and fractionated natural minerals such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiollte, dolomite, and also synthetic granules of inorganic and organic meals, and also granules of organic 15 material such as sawdust, paper, coconut shells, maize cobs and tobacco stalks. Liquefied gaseous extenders or solvents may also be used. Particularly suitable are those extenders or carriers which at standard temperature and under standard pressure are gaseous, examples being aerosol propellants, such as halogenated hydrocarbons, and also butane, propane, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. 20 Examples of emulsifiers and/or foam-formers, dispersants or wetting agents having ionic or nonlonic properties, or mixtures of these surface-active substances, are salts of polyacrylic acid, salts of lignosulphonic acid, salts of phenolsulphonic acid or naphthalenesulphonic acid, polycondensates of ethylene oxide with fatty alcohols or with fatty acids or with fatty amines, with substituted phenols (preferably alkylphenols or 25 arylphenols), salts of sulphosuccinic esters, taurine derivatives (preferably alkyltaurates), phosphoric esters of polyethoxylated alcohols or phenols, fatty acid esters of polyols, and derivatives of the compounds containing sulphates, sulphonates and phosphates, examples being alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, alkylsulphonates, alkyl sulphates, arylsulphonates, protein hydrolysates, lignin-sulphite waste liquors and methylcellulose. 30 The presence of a surface-active substance is advantageous if one of the active compounds and/or one of the inert carriers is not soluble in water and if application takes place in water.

Generally speaking, the active compounds may be combined with any solid or liquid 20 additive commonly used for formulation purposes. Suitable retention promoters include all those substances which reduce the dynamic surface tension, such as dioctyl sulphosuccinate, or increase the viscoeiasticity, such as hydroxypropyiguar polymers, for example. Suitable penetrants in the present context include all those substances which are 25 typically used in order to enhance the penetration of active agrochemical compounds into plants. Penetrants in this context are defined in that, from the (generally aqueous) application liquor and/or from the spray coating, they are able to penetrate the cuticle of the plant and thereby increase the mobility of the active compounds in the cuticle. This property can be determined using the method described in the literature (Baur et 30 al, 1997, Pesticide Science 51, 131-152). Examples include alcohol alkoxylates such as coconut fatty ethoxylate (10) or isotridecyl ethoxylate (12), fatty acid esters such as rapeseed or soybean oil methyl esters, fatty amine alkoxylates such as tallowamine WO 2013/178662 PCT/EP2013/061030 43 ethoxylate (15), or ammonium and/or phosphonium salts such as ammonium sulphate or diammonium hydrogen phosphate, for example.

In another preferred embodiment of the present method the at least one fungicide is a synthetic fungicide. 5 The method of the present invention includes the following application methods, namely both of the at least one biological control agent and the at least one insecticide mentioned before may be formulated into a single, stable composition with an agriculturally acceptable shelf life (so called "solo-formulation"), or being combined before or at the time of use (so called "combined-formulations"), 10 If not mentioned otherwise, the expression "combination" stands for the various combinations of the at least one biological control agent and the at least one insecticide, and optionally the at least one fungicide, in a solo-formulation, in a single "ready-mix" form, in a combined spray mixture composed from solo-formulations, such as a "tank-mix", and especially in a combined use of the single active ingredients when 15 applied in a sequential manner, iLe one after the other within a reasonably short period, such as a few hours or days, e g. 2 hours to 7 days. The order of applying the composition according to the present invention is not essential for working the present invention. Accordingly, the term "combination" also encompasses the presence of the at least one biological control agent and the at least one insecticide, and optionally 20 the at least one fungicide on or in a plant to be treated or its surrounding, habitat or storage space, e.g. after simultaneously or consecutively applying the at least one biological control agent and the at least one insecticide, and optionally the at least one fungicide to a plant its surrounding, habitat or storage space, If the at least one biological control agent and the at least one insecticide, and 25 optionally the at least one fungicide are employed or used in a sequential manner, it is preferred to treat the plants or plant parts (which includes seeds and plants emerging from the seed), harvested fruits and vegetables according to the following method: Firstly applying the at least one insecticide and optionally the at least one fungicide on the plant or plant parts, and secondly applying the biological control agent to the 30 same plant or plant parts. The time periods between the first and the second application within a (crop) growing cycle may vary and depend on the effect to be achieved. For example, the first application is done to prevent an infestation of the plant or plant parts with insects, nematodes and/or phytopathogens (this is particularly WO 2013/178662 PCT/EP2013/061030 48 the case when treating seeds) or to combat the infestation with insects, nematodes and/or phytopathogens (this is particularly the case when treating plants and plant parts) and the second application is done to prevent or control the infestation with insects, nematodes and/or phytopathogens. Control in this context means that the 5 biological control agent is not able to fully exterminate the pests or phytopathogenic fungi but is able to keep the infestation on an acceptable level. By following the before mentioned steps, a very low level of residues of the at least one specified insecticide, and optionally at least one fungicide on the treated plant, plant parts, and the harvested fruits and vegetables can be achieved. 10 If not mentioned otherwise the treatment of plants or plant parts (which includes seeds and plants emerging from the seed), harvested fruits and vegetables with the composition according to the invention is carried out directly or by action on their surroundings, habitat or storage space using customary treatment methods, for example dipping, spraying, atomizing, irrigating, evaporating, dusting, fogging, 15 broadcasting, foaming, painting, spreading-on, watering (drenching), drip irrigating. It is furthermore possible to apply the at least one biological control agent, the at least one insecticide, and optionally the at least one fungicide as solo-formulation or combined formulations by the ultra-low volume method, or to inject the composition according to the present invention as a composition or as sole-formulations into the soil (in-furrow). 20 The term "plant to be treated" encompasses every part of a plant including its root system and the material - e.g., soil or nutrition medium - which is in a radius of at least 10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm around the caulis or bole of a plant to be treated or which is at least 10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm around the root system of said plant to be treated, respect ively. 25 The amount of the biological control agent which is used or employed in combination with the specified insecticide, optionally in the presence of a fungicide, depends on the final formulation as well as size or type of the plant, plant parts, seeds, harvested fruits and vegetables to be treated. Usually, the biological control agent to be employed or used according to the invention is present in about 2 % to about 80 % (w/w), preferably 30 in about 5 % to about 75 % (w/w), more preferably about 10 % to about 70 % (w/w) of its solo-formulation or combined- formulation with the at least one insecticide, and optionally the fungicide.
WO 2013/178662 PCT/EP2013/061030 49 In a preferred embodiment the biological control agent or e.g. their spores are present in a solo-formulation or the combined-formulation in a concentration of at least 10' colony forming units per gram preparation (e. g. cells/g preparation, spores/g preparation), such as 105 - 1012 cfu/g, preferably 106 - 101 cfu/g, more preferably 10' 5 1010 cfu/g and most preferably 109 - 101 cfu/g at the time point of applying biological control agents on a plant or plant parts such as seeds, fruits or vegetables. Also references to the concentration of biological control agents in form of, e.g., spores or cells - when discussing ratios between the amount of a preparation of at least one biological control agent and the amount of the specified insecticide - are made in 10 view of the time point when the biological control agent is applied on a plant or plant parts such as seeds, fruits or vegetables, Also the amount of the at least one insecticide which is used or employed in combination with the specified biological control agent, optionally in the presence of a fungicide, depends on the final formulation as well as size or type of the plant, plant 15 parts, seeds, harvested fruit or vegetable to be treated, Usually, the insecticide to be employed or used according to the invention is present in about 0.1 % to about 80 % (w/w), preferably 1 % to about 60 % (w/w), more preferably about 10 % to about 50 % (w/w) of its solo-formulation or combined-formulation with the biological control agent, and optionally the fungicide. 20 The at least one biological control agent and at least one insecticide, and if present also the fungicide are used or employed in a synergistic weight ratio. The skilled person is able to find out the synergistic weight ratios for the present invention by routine methods, The skilled person understands that these ratios refer to the ratio within a combined-formulation as well as to the calculative ratio of the at least one biological 25 control agent described herein and the specified insecticide when both components are applied as mono-formulations to a plant to be treated. The skilled person can calculate this ratio by simple mathematics since the volume and the amount of the biological control agent and insecticide, respectively, in a mono-formulation is known to the skilled person. 30 The ratio can be calculated based on the amount of the at least one insecticide, at the time point of applying said component of a combination according to the invention to a plant or plant part and the amount of a biological control agent shortly prior (e.g,, 48 h, 24 h, 12 h, 6 h, 2 h, 1 h) or at the time point of applying said component of a combination according to the invention to a plant or plant part.
WO 2013/178662 PCT/EP2013/061030 50 The application of the at least one biological control agent and the at least one insecticide according to the present invention to a plant or a plant part can take place simultaneously or at different times as long as both components are present on or in the plant after the application(s). In cases where the biological control agent and the 5 insecticide are applied at different times and the insecticide is applied noticeable prior to the biological control agent, the skilled person can determine the concentration of the specified insecticide on/in a plant by chemical analysis known in the art, at the time point or shortly before the time point of applying the biological control agent. Vice versa, when the biological control agent is applied to a plant first, the concentration of 10 a biological control agent can be determined using test which are also known in the art, at the time point or shortly before the time point of applying the insecticide, In particular, in one embodiment the synergistic weight ratio of the at least one biological control agent/spore preparation and the at least one insecticide lies in the range of 1 : 500 to 1000 : 1, preferably in the range of 1 : 500 to 500 : 1, more 15 preferably in the range of 1 :500 to 300 : 1. It has to be noted that these ratio ranges refer to the biological control agent/spores preparation (to be combined with at least one insecticide or a preparation of at least one insecticide) of around 1010 cells/spores per gram preparation of said cells/spores, For example, a ratio of 100:1 means 100 weight parts of a biological control agent/spore preparation having a cell/ spore 20 concentration of 1010 cells/spores per gram preparation and 1 weight part of the insecticide are combined (either as a solo formulation, a combined formulation or by separate applications to plants so that the combination is formed on the plant), In another embodiment, the synergistic weight ratio of the at least one biological control agent/spore preparation to the insecticide is in the range of 1 : 100 to 20.000 25 1, preferably in the range of 1:50 to 10 000:1 or even in the range of 1:50 to 1000:1 Once again the mentioned ratios ranges refer to biological control agent/spore preparations of biological control agents of around 1010 cells or spores per gram preparation of said biological control agent, In particular, in this embodiment the biological control agent preferably is selected from the group consisting of Musoodor 30 albus 620 (NRRL Accession No. 30547) and Muscodor roseus A3-5 (NRRL Accession No. 30548). The cell/spore concentration of preparations can be determined by applying methods known in the art. To compare weight ratios of the biological control agent/ spore preparation to the insecticide, the skilled person can easily determine the factor WO 2013/178662 PCT/EP2013/061030 51 between a preparation having a biological control agent/spore concentration different from 10' cells/spores per gram cell/spore preparation and a preparation having a biological control agent/ spore concentration of 10' cells/spores per gram preparation to calculate whether a ratio of a biological control agent/spore preparation to the 5 insecticide is within the scope of the above listed ratio ranges. In one embodiment of the present invention, the concentration of the biological control agent after dispersal is at least 50 g/ha, such as 50 - 7500 g/ha, 50 - 2500 g/ha, 50 1500 g/ha; at least 250 g/ha (hectare), at least 500 g/ha or at least 800 g/ha. The application rate of composition to be employed or used according to the present 10 invention may vary. The skilled person is able to find the appropriate application rate by way of routine experiments. Seed treatment In another aspect of the present invention a seed treated with the composition as described above is provided. 15 The control of insects, nematodes and/or phytopathogens by treating the seed of plants has been known for a long time and is a subject of continual improvements. Nevertheless, the treatment of seed entails a series of problems which cannot always be solved in a satisfactory manner. Thus, it is desirable to develop methods for protecting the seed and the germinating plant that remove the need for, or at least 20 significantly reduce, the additional delivery of crop protection compositions in the course of storage, after sowing or after the emergence of the plants, It is desirable, furthermore, to optimize the amount of active ingredient employed in such a way as to provide the best-possible protection to the seed and the germinating plant from attack by insects, nematodes and/or phytopathogens, but without causing damage to the 25 plant itself by the active ingredient employed, In particular, methods for treating seed ought also to take into consideration the intrinsic insecticidal and/or nematicidai properties of pest-resistant or pest-tolerant transgenic plants, in order to achieve optimum protection of the seed and of the germinating plant with a minimal use of crop protection compositions, 30 The present invention therefore also relates in particular to a method for protecting seed and germinating plants from attack by pests, by treating the seed with at least one biological control agent as defined above and/or a mutant of it having all identifying WO 2013/178662 52 PCT/EP2013/061030 characteristics of the respective strain, and/or a metabolite produced by the respective strain that exhibits activity against insects, mites, nematodes and/or phytopathogens and at least one insecticide as defined above and optionally at least one fungicide of the invention, The method of the invention for protecting seed and germinating plants 5 from attack by pests encompasses a method in which the seed is treated simultaneously in one operation with the at least one biological control agent and the at least one insecticide, and optionally the at least one fungicide, It also encompasses a method in which the seed is treated at different times with the at least one biological control agent and the at least one insecticide, and optionally the at least one 10 fungicide, The invention relates to the use of the composition of the invention for treating seed for the purpose of protecting the seed and the resultant plant against insects, mites, nematodes and/or phytopathogens. The invention also relates to seed which at the same time has been treated with at least 15 one biological control agent and at least one insecticide according to the present invention, and optionally at least one fungicide, The invention further relates to seed which has been treated at different times with the at least one biological control agent and the at least one insecticide, and optionally the at least one fungicide, In the case of seed which has been treated at different times with the at least one biological 20 control agent and the at least one insecticide, and optionally the at least one fungicide, the individual active ingredients in the composition of the invention may be present in different layers on the seed. Furthermore, the invention relates to seed which, following treatment with the composition of the invention, is subjected to a film-coating process in order to prevent 25 dust abrasion of the seed. One of the advantages of the present invention is that, owing to the particular systemic properties of the compositions of the invention, the treatment of the seed with these compositions provides protection from insects, nematodes and/or phytopathogens not only to the seed itself but also to the plants originating from the seed, after they have 30 emerged. In this way, it may not be necessary to treat the crop directly at the time of sowing or shortly thereafter, WO 2013/178662 53 PCT/EP2013/061030 A further advantage is to be seen in the fact that, through the treatment of the seed with composition of the invention, germination and emergence of the treated seed may be promoted, It is likewise considered to be advantageous composition of the invention may also be 5 used, in particular, on transgenic seed, It is also stated that the composition of the invention may be used in combination with agents of the signalling technology, as a result of which, for example, colonization with symbionts is improved, such as rhizobia, mycorrhiza and/or endophytic bacteria, for example, is enhanced, and/or nitrogen fixation is optimized, 10 The compositions of the invention are suitable for protecting seed of any variety of plant which is used in agriculture, in greenhouses, in forestry or in horticulture. More particularly, the seed in question is that of cereals (eg. wheat, barley, rye, oats and millet), maize, cotton, soybeans, rice, potatoes, sunflower, coffee, tobacco, canola, oilseed rape, beets (e.g. sugar beet and fodder beet), peanuts, vegetables (e.g. 15 tomato, cucumber, bean, brassicas, onions and lettuce), fruit plants, lawns and ornamentals. Particularly important is the treatment of the seed of cereals (such as wheat, barley, rye and oats) maize, soybeans, cotton, canola, oilseed rape and rice. As already mentioned above, the treatment of transgenic seed with the composition of the invention is particularly important. The seed in question here is that of plants which 20 generally contain at least one heterologous gene that controls the expression of a polypeptide having, in particular, insecticidal and/or nematicidal properties. These heterologous genes in transgenic seed may come from microorganisms such as Bacillus, Rhizobium, Pseudomonas, Serraia, Trichoderma, Clavibacter, Glomus or G/ioclaodium. The present invention is particularly suitable for the treatment of transgenic 25 seed which contains at least one heterologous gene from Bacilus sp. With particular preference, the heterologous gene in question comes from Bacillus thuringiensis, For the purposes of the present invention, the composition of the invention is applied alone or in a suitable formulation to the seed, The seed is preferably treated in a condition in which its stability is such that no damage occurs in the course of the 30 treatment, Generally speaking, the seed may be treated at any point in time between harvesting and sowing. Typically, seed is used which has been separated from the plant and has had cobs, hulls, stems, husks, hair or pulp removed. Thus, for example, seed WO 2013/178662 PCT/EP2013/061030 54 may be used that has been harvested, cleaned and dried to a moisture content of less than 15% by weight. Alternatively, seed can also be used that after drying has been treated with water, for example, and then dried again. When treating seed it is necessary, generally speaking, to ensure that the amount of the 5 composition of the invention, and/or of other additives, that is applied to the seed is selected such that the germination of the seed is not adversely affected, and/or that the plant which emerges from the seed is not damaged. This is the case in particular with active ingredients which may exhibit phytotoxic effects at certain application rates. The compositions of the invention can be applied directly, in other words without 10 comprising further components and without having been diluted, As a general rule, it is preferable to apply the compositions in the form of a suitable formulation to the seed. Suitable formulations and methods for seed treatment are known to the skilled person and are described in, for example, the following documents: US 4,272,417 A, US 4,245,432 A, US 4,808,430 A, US 5,876,739 A, US 2003/0176428 Al, 15 WO 2002/080675 Al, WO 2002/028186 A2, The combinations which can be used in accordance with the invention may be converted into the customary seed-dressing formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, suspensions, powders, foams, slurries or other coating compositions for seed, and also ULV formulations. 20 These formulations are prepared in a known manner, by mixing composition with customary adjuvants, such as, for example, customary extenders and also solvents or diluents, colorants, wetters, dispersants, emulsifiers, antifoams, preservatives, secondary thickeners, stickers, gibberellins, and also water. Colorants which may be present in the seed-dressing formulations which can be used in 25 accordance with the invention include all colorants which are customary for such purposes. In this context it is possible to use not only pigments, which are of low solubility in water, but also water-soluble dyes. Examples include the colorants known under the designations Rhodamin B, C.I. Pigment Red 112 and C.I Solvent Red 1 Wetters which may be present in the seed-dressing formulations which can be used in 30 accordance with the invention include all of the substances which promote wetting and which are customary in the formulation of active agrochemical ingredients. Use WO 2013/178662 PCT/EP2013/061030 55 may be made preferably of alkylnaphthalenesulphonates, such as dilsopropyl- or disobuty-naphthalenesulphonates. Dispersants and/or emulsifiers which may be present in the seed-dressing formulations which can be used in accordance with the invention include all of the nonionic, 5 anionic and cationic dispersants that are customary in the formulation of active agrochemical ingredients. Use may be made preferably of nonionic or anionic dispersants or of mixtures of nonionic or anionic dispersants. Suitable nonionic dispersants are, in particular, ethylene oxide-propylene oxide block polymers, alklphenol polyglycol ethers and also tristryrylphenol polyglycol ethers, and the 10 phosphated or sulphated derivatives of these, Suitable anionic dispersants are, in particular, lignosulphonates, salts of polyacrylic acid, and arylsulphonate-formaldehyde condensates. Antifoams which may be present in the seed-dressing formulations which can be used in accordance with the invention include all of the foam inhibitors that are customary in 15 the formulation of active agrochemical ingredients. Use may be made preferably of silicone antifoams and magnesium stearate, Preservatives which may be present in the seed-dressing formulations which can be used in accordance with the invention include all of the substances which can be employed for such purposes in agrochemical compositions. Examples include 20 dichlorophen and benzyl alcohol hemiformal. Secondary thickeners which may be present in the seed-dressing formulations which can be used in accordance with the invention include all substances which can be used for such purposes in agrochemical compositions, Those contemplated with preference include cellulose derivatives, acrylic acid derivatives, xanthan, modified 25 clays and highly disperse silica, Stickers which may be present in the seed-dressing formulations which can be used in accordance with the invention include all customary binders which can be used in seed-dressing products. Preferred mention may be made of polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol and fylose. 30 Gibberellins which may be present in the seed-dressing formulations which can be used in accordance with the invention include preferably the gibberellins Al, A3 (= gibberellic acid), A4 and AT with gibberellic acid being used with particular WO 2013/178662 PCT/EP2013/061030 56 preference, The gibberellins are known (cf. R, Wegler, "Chemie der Pflanzenschutz- und Schddlingsbekdmpfungsmiftel", Volume 2, Springer Verlag, 1970, pp, 401-412). The seed-dressing formulations which can be used in accordance with the invention may be used, either directly or after prior dilution with water, to treat seed of any of a 5 wide variety of types. Accordingly, the concentrates or the preparations obtainable from them by dilution with water may be employed to dress the seed of cereals, such as wheat, barley, rye, oats and triticale, and also the seed of maize, rice, oliseed rape, peas, beans, cotton, sunflowers and beets, or else the seed of any of a very wide variety of vegetables, The seed-dressing formulations which can be used in 10 accordance with the invention, or their diluted preparations, may also be used to dress seed of transgenic plants, In that case, additional synergistic effects may occur in interaction with the substances formed through expression, For the treatment of seed with the seed-dressing formulations which can be used in accordance with the invention, or with the preparations produced from them by 15 addition of water, suitable mixing equipment includes all such equipment which can typically be employed for seed dressing. More particularly, the procedure when carrying out seed dressing is to place the seed in a mixer, to add the particular desired amount of seed-dressing formulations, either as such or following dilution with water beforehand, and to carry out mixing until the distribution of the formulation on the seed is uniform. 20 This may be followed by a drying operation. The application rate of the seed-dressing formulations which can be used in accordance with the invention may be varied within a relatively wide range. It is guided by the particular amount of the at least one biological control agent and the at least one insecticide in the formulations, and by the seed, The application rates in the case 25 of the composition are situated generally at between 0.001 and 50 g per kilogram of seed, preferably between 0.01 and 15 g per kilogram of seed, The composition according to the invention, in combination with good plant tolerance and favourable toxicity to warm-blooded animals and being tolerated well by the environment, are suitable for protecting plants and plant organs, for increasing harvest 30 yields, for improving the quality of the harvested material and for controlling animal pests, in particular insects, arachnids, helminths, nematodes and molluscs, which are encountered in agriculture, in horticulture, in animal husbandry, in forests, in gardens and leisure facilities, in protection of stored products and of materials, and in the WO 2013/178662 57 PCT/EP2013/061030 hygiene sector. They can be preferably employed as plant protection agents. in particular, the present invention relates to the use of the composition according to the invention as insecticide and/or fungicide.

The inventive compositions can be used for curative or protective/preventive control of phytopathogenic fungi. The invention therefore also relates to curative and protective 5 methods for controlling phytopathogenic fungi by the use of the inventive composition, which is applied to the seed, the plant or plant parts, the fruit or the soil in which the plants grow. The fact that the composition is well tolerated by plants at the concentrations required for controlling plant diseases allows the treatment of above-ground parts of plants, of 10 propagation stock and seeds, and of the soil. According to the invention all plants and plant parts can be treated. By plants is meant all plants and plant populations such as desirable and undesirable wild plants, cultivars and plant varieties (whether or not protectable by plant variety or plant breeder's rights). Cultivars and plant varieties can be plants obtained by conventional propagation and 15 breeding methods which can be assisted or supplemented by one or more biotechnological methods such as by use of double haploids, protoplast fusion, random and directed mutagenesis, molecular or genetic markers or by bioengineering and genetic engineering methods, By plant parts is meant all above ground and below ground parts and organs of plants such as shoot, leaf, blossom and 20 root, whereby for example leaves, needles, stems, branches, blossoms, fruiting bodies, fruits and seed as well as roots, corms and rhizomes are listed, Crops and vegetative and generative propagating material, for example cuttings, corms, rhizomes, runners and seeds also belong to plant parts.

Depending on the plant species or plant cultivars, their location and growth conditions (soils, climate, vegetation period, diet), using or employing the composition according 15 to the present invention the treatment according to the invention may also result in super-additive ("synergistic") effects. Thus, for example, by using or employing inventive composition in the treatment according to the invention, reduced application rates and/or a widening of the activity spectrum and/or an increase in the activity better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to 20 drought or to water or soil salt content, increased flowering performance, easier harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, bigger fruits, larger plant height, greener leaf color, earlier flowering, higher quality and/or a higher nutritional value of the harvested products, higher sugar concentration within the fruits, better storage stability and/or processability of the harvested products are possible, which 25 exceed the effects which were actually to be expected. At certain application rates of the inventive composition in the treatment according to the invention may also have a strengthening effect in plants. The defense system of the plant against attack by unwanted phytopathogenic fungi and/ or microorganisms and/or viruses is mobilized. Plant-strengthening (resistance-inducing) substances are to 30 be understood as meaning, in the present context, those substances or combinations of substances which are capable of stimulating the defense system of plants in such a way that, when subsequently inoculated with unwanted phytopathogenic fungi and/or microorganisms and/or viruses, the treated plants display a substantial degree of resistance to these phytopathogenic fungi and/or microorganisms and/or viruses, u, WO 2013/178662 PCT/EP2013/061030 70 by using or employing composition according to the present invention in the treatment according to the invention, plants can be protected against attack by the abovementioned pathogens within a certain period of time after the treatment. The period of time within which protection is effected generally extends from 1 to 10 days, 5 preferably I to 7 days, after the treatment of the plants with the active compounds. Plants and plant cultivars which are also preferably to be treated according to the invention are resistant against one or more biotic stresses, i.e. said plants show a better defense against animal and microbial pests, such as against nematodes, insects, mites, phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria, viruses and/or viroids. 10 Plants and plant cultivars which may also be treated according to the invention are those plants which are resistant to one or more abiotic stresses, i, a. that already exhibit an increased plant health with respect to stress tolerance. Abiotic stress conditions may include, for example, drought, cold temperature exposure, heat exposure, osmotic stress, flooding, increased soil salinity, increased mineral exposure, ozon exposure, high 15 light exposure, limited availability of nitrogen nutrients, limited availability of phosphorus nutrients, shade avoidance. Preferably, the treatment of these plants and cultivars with the composition of the present invention additionally increases the overall plant health (cf, above). Plants and plant cultivars which may also be treated according to the invention, are 20 those plants characterized by enhanced yield characteristics i. e. that already exhibit an increased plant health with respect to this feature, Increased yield in said plants can be the result of, for example, improved plant physiology, growth and development, such as water use efficiency, water retention efficiency, improved nitrogen use, enhanced carbon assimilation, improved photosynthesis, increased germination 25 efficiency and accelerated maturation. Yield can furthermore be affected by improved plant architecture (under stress and non-stress conditions), including but not limited to, early flowering, flowering control for hybrid seed production, seedling vigor, plant size, internode number and distance, root growth, seed size, fruit size, pod size, pod or ear number, seed number per pod or ear, seed mass, enhanced seed filling, reduced 30 seed dispersal, reduced pod dehiscence and lodging resistance, Further yield traits include seed composition, such as carbohydrate content, protein content, oil content and composition, nutritional value, reduction in anti-nutritional compounds, improved processability and better storage stability. Preferably, the treatment of these plants and WO 2013/178662 PCT/EP2013/061030 71 cultivars with the composition of the present invention additionally increases the overall plant health (of, above). Plants that may be treated according to the invention are hybrid plants that already express the characteristic of heterosis or hybrid vigor which results in generally higher 5 yield, vigor, health and resistance towards biotic and abiotic stress factors. Such plants are typically made by crossing an inbred male-sterile parent line (the female parent) with another inbred male-fertile parent line (the male parent). Hybrid seed is typically harvested from the male sterile plants and sold to growers, Male sterile plants can sometimes (e~g. in corn) be produced by detasseling, ie, the mechanical removal of 10 the male reproductive organs (or males flowers) but, more typically, male sterility is the result of genetic determinants in the plant genome, In that case, and especially when seed is the desired product to be harvested from the hybrid plants it is typically useful to ensure that male fertility in the hybrid plants is fully restored. This can be accomplished by ensuring that the male parents have appropriate fertility restorer genes which are 15 capable of restoring the male fertility in hybrid plants that contain the genetic determinants responsible for male-sterility Genetic determinants for male sterility may be located in the cytoplasm. Examples of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) were for instance described in Brassica species, However, genetic determinants for male sterility can also be located in the nuclear genome. Male sterile plants can also be obtained 20 by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering, A particularly useful means of obtaining male-sterile plants is described in WO 89/10396 in which, for example, a ribonuclease such as barnase is selectively expressed in the tapetum cells in the stamens, Fertility can then be restored by expression in the tapetum cells of a ribonuclease inhibitor such as barstar, 25 Plants or plant cultivars (obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering) which may be treated according to the invention are herbicide-tolerant plants, i.e. plants made tolerant to one or more given herbicides, Such plants can be obtained either by genetic transformation, or by selection of plants containing a mutation imparting such herbicide tolerance, 30 Herbicide-tolerant plants are for example glyphosate-tolerant plants, i.e. plants made tolerant to the herbicide glyphosate or salts thereof, Plants can be made tolerant to glyphosate through different means. For example, glyphosate-tolerant plants can be obtained by transforming the plant with a gene encoding the enzyme 5 enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). Examples of such EPSPS genes are WO 2013/178662 PCT/EP2013/061030 72 the AroA gene (mutant CT7) of the bacterium Salmonella typhimurium, the CP4 gene of the bacterium Agrobacterium sp, the genes encoding a Petunia EPSPS, a Tomato EPSPS, or an Eleusine EPSPS. It can also be a mutated EPSPS. Glyphosate-tolerant plants can also be obtained by expressing a gene that encodes a glyphosate oxido 5 reductase enzyme. Glyphosate-tolerant plants can also be obtained by expressing a gene that encodes a glyphosate acetyl transferase enzyme. Glyphosate-tolerant plants can also be obtained by selecting plants containing naturally-occurring mutations of the above-mentioned genes. Other herbicide resistant plants are for example plants that are made tolerant to 10 herbicides inhibiting the enzyme glutamine synthase, such as bialaphos, phosphinothricin or glufosinate. Such plants can be obtained by expressing an enzyme detoxifying the herbicide or a mutant glutamine synthase enzyme that is resistant to inhibition. One such efficient detoxifying enzyme is an enzyme encoding a phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (such as the bar or pat protein from Streptomyces 15 species). Plants expressing an exogenous phosphinothricin acetyltransferase are also described. Further herbicide-tolerant plants are also plants that are made tolerant to the herbicides inhibiting the enzyme hydroxyphenylpyruvatedioxygenase (HPPD), Hydroxyphenylpyruvatedioxygenases are enzymes that catalyze the reaction in which 20 para-hydroxyphenylpyruvate (HPP) is transformed into homogentisate, Plants tolerant to HPPD-inhibitors can be transformed with a gene encoding a naturally-occurring resistant HPPD enzyme, or a gene encoding a mutated HPPD enzyme, Tolerance to HPPD inhibitors can also be obtained by transforming plants with genes encoding certain enzymes enabling the formation of homogentisate despite the inhibition of the native 25 HPPD enzyme by the HPPD-inhibitor. Tolerance of plants to HPPD inhibitors can also be improved by transforming plants with a gene encoding an enzyme prephenate dehydrogenase in addition to a gene encoding an HPPD-tolerant enzyme. Still further herbicide resistant plants are plants that are made tolerant to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors, Known ALS-inhibitors include, for example, sulfonylurea, 30 imidazolinone, triazolopyrimidines, pyrimidinyoxy(thio)benzoates, and/or sulfonylaminocarbonyltriazolinone herbicides, Different mutations in the ALS enzyme (also known as acetohydroxyacid synthase, AHAS) are known to confer tolerance to different herbicides and groups of herbicides. The production of sulfonylurea-tolerant plants and imidazolinone-tolerant plants is described in WO 1996/033270, Other WO 2013/178662 73 PCT/EP2013/061030 imidazolinone-tolerant plants are also described, Further sulfonylurea- and imidazolinone-tolerant plants are also described in for example WO 2007/024782. Other plants tolerant to imidazolinone and/or sulfonylurea can be obtained by induced mutagenesis, selection in cell cultures in the presence of the herbicide or mutation 5 breeding as described for example for soybeans, for rice, for sugar beet, for lettuce, or for sunflower. Plants or plant cultivars (obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering) which may also be treated according to the invention are insect-resistant transgenic plants, i.e. plants made resistant to attack by certain target insects. Such 10 plants can be obtained by genetic transformation, or by selection of plants containing a mutation imparting such insect resistance. An "insect-resistant transgenic plant", as used herein, includes any plant containing at least one transgene comprising a coding sequence encoding: 1) An insecticidal crystal protein from Bacillus thuringlensis or an insecticidal portion 15 thereof, such as the insecticidal crystal proteins listed online at: http://www lifesci sussexac uk/Home/Neil_Crickmore/Bt/, or insecticidal portions thereof, e.g., proteins of the Cry protein classes Cryl Ab, Cryl Ac, Cryl F, Cry2Ab, Cry3Aa, or Cry3Bb or insecticidal portions thereof; or 2) a crystal protein from Bacillus thuringlensis or a portion thereof which is 20 insecticidal in the presence of a second other crystal protein from Bacillus thuringiensis or a portion thereof, such as the binary toxin made up of the Cry34 and Cry35 crystal proteins; or 3) a hybrid insecticidal protein comprising parts of different insecticidal crystal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis, such as a hybrid of the proteins of 1) above or 25 a hybrid of the proteins of 2) above, e.g the Cryl A.105 protein produced by corn event MON98034 (WO 2007/027777); or 4) a protein of any one of 1) to 3) above wherein some, particularly 1 to 10, amino acids have been replaced by another amino acid to obtain a higher insecticidal activity to a target insect species, and/or to expand the range of target insect 30 species affected, and/or because of changes introduced into the encoding DNA during cloning or transformation, such as the Cry3Bbl protein in corn events M0N863 or MON8801 7, or the Cry3A protein in corn event MiR604; WO 2013/178662 74 PCT/EP2013/061030 5) an insecticidal secreted protein from Bacillus thuringlensis or Bacillus cereus, or an insecticidal portion thereof, such as the vegetative insecticidal (VIP) proteins listed at: hftp://www.lifesci.sussex.ac.uk/home/NeilCrickmore/Bt/vip.htmi, e.g. proteins from 5 the VIP3Aa protein class; or 6) secreted protein from Bacillus thuringlensis or Bacllus cereus which is insecticidal in the presence of a second secreted protein from Bacillus thuringlensis or B. cereus, such as the binary toxin made up of the VIPI A and VIP2A proteins; or 10 7) hybrid insecticidal protein comprising parts from different secreted proteins from Bacillus thuringlensls or Bacillus cereus, such as a hybrid of the proteins in 1) above or a hybrid of the proteins in 2) above; or 8) protein of any one of 1) to 3) above wherein some, particularly 1 to 10, amino acids have been replaced by another amino acid to obtain a higher insecticidal 15 activity to a target insect species, and/or to expand the range of target insect species affected, and/or because of changes introduced into the encoding DNA during cloning or transformation (while still encoding an insecticidal protein), such as the VIP3Aa protein in cotton event COT 02. Of course, an insect-resistant transgenic plant, as used herein, also includes any plant 20 comprising a combination of genes encoding the proteins of any one of the above classes 1 to 8. In one embodiment, an insect-resistant plant contains more than one transgene encoding a protein of any one of the above classes 1 to 8, to expand the range of target insect species affected when using different proteins directed at different target insect species, or to delay insect resistance development to the plants 25 by using different proteins insecticidal to the same target insect species but having a different mode of action, such as binding to different receptor binding sites in the insect, Plants or plant cultivars (obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering) which may also be treated according to the invention are tolerant to 30 abiotic stresses. Such plants can be obtained by genetic transformation, or by selection of plants containing a mutation imparting such stress resistance, Particularly useful stress tolerance plants include: a. plants which contain a transgene capable of reducing the expression and/or the activity of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) gene in the plant cells or plants WO 2013/178662 PCT/EP2013/061030 75 b, plants which contain a stress tolerance enhancing transgene capable of reducing the expression and/or the activity of the poly(ADP-ribose)glycohydrolase (PARG) encoding genes of the plants or plants cells. c. plants which contain a stress tolerance enhancing transgene coding for a 5 plant-functional enzyme of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide salvage synthesis pathway including nicotinamidase, nicotinate phosphoribosyitransferase, nicotinic acid mononucleotide adeny transferase, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide synthetase or nicotine amide phosphorybosytransferase. 10 Plants or plant cultivars (obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering) which may also be treated according to the invention show altered quantity, quality and/or storage-stability of the harvested product and/or altered properties of specific ingredients of the harvested product such as : 1) transgenic plants which synthesize a modified starch, which in its physical 15 chemical characteristics, in particular the amylose content or the amylose/amylopectin ratio, the degree of branching, the average chain length, the side chain distribution, the viscosity behaviour, the gelling strength, the starch grain size and/or the starch grain morphology, is changed in comparison with the synthesised starch in wild type plant cells or plants, so that this is better suited for 20 special applications. 2) transgenic plants which synthesize non starch carbohydrate polymers or which synthesize non starch carbohydrate polymers with altered properties in comparison to wild type plants without genetic modification, Examples are plants producing polyfructose, especially of the inulin and levan-type, plants producing 25 alpha 1,4 glucans, plants producing alpha-1,6 branched alpha-1,4-glucans, plants producing alternan, 3) transgenic plants which produce hyaluronan. Plants or plant cultivars (that can be obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering) which may also be treated according to the invention are plants, 30 such as cotton plants, with altered fiber characteristics, Such plants can be obtained by genetic transformation or by selection of plants contain a mutation imparting such altered fiber characteristics and include: a) Plants, such as cotton plants, containing an altered form of cellulose synthase genes, WO 2013/178662 76 PCT/EP2013/061030 b) Plants, such as cotton plants, containing an altered form of rsw2 or rsw3 homologous nucleic acids, c) Plants, such as cotton plants, with increased expression of sucrose phosphate synthase, 5 d) Plants, such as cotton plants, with increased expression of sucrose synthase, e) Plants, such as cotton plants, wherein the timing of the plasmodesmatal gating at the basis of the fiber cell is altered, e~g. through downregulation of fiberselective P 1,3-glucanase, f) Plants, such as cotton plants, having fibers with altered reactivity, e~g. through 10 the expression of N-acteylglucosaminetransferase gene including nodC and chitinsynthase genes. Plants or plant cultivars (that can be obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering) which may also be treated according to the invention are plants, such as oilseed rape or related Brassica plants, with altered oil profile characteristics. 15 Such plants can be obtained by genetic transformation or by selection of plants contain a mutation imparting such altered oil characteristics and include: a) Plants, such as oilseed rape plants, producing oil having a high oleic acid content, b) Plants such as oliseed rape plants, producing oil having a low linolenic acid 20 content, c) Plant such as oilseed rape plants, producing oil having a low level of saturated fatty acids.
